Good explanation
@@jrich1270 thanks 👍
This was a very professional video. Not that I needed to do the job, I just stumled over the video and wanted to give you cred.
Nice one! Thanks for the comments, much appreciated 😁👍👌
this is a brilliant video...Your instruction, gives me a lot of confidence that I could tackle this.
Thanks for the comment , much appreciated .. go for it 👍 just take you time and there not bad to do really 👌
Nice job , it’s always a difficult decision whether to change the small pulley and tensioner studs. I didn’t change mine when I did my A5 tdi. But as the studs were in the kit I think I should have. What’s your view ?
Thanks for the comments , much appreciated 👌 some say you should always change the studs but I don’t like to disturb them , I always have a check to see if they look ok and personally I’m happy to leave them in as long as I’m torquing the nuts to the correct settings.. I believe the issues are caused by over torquing and stressing the studs.. if over tight they vibrate and crack so I’m led to believe.. Personally I’ve done around 30-40 belts with the setup and probably only renewed 1 or 2 studs .. I’ve never had an issue yet 👌
DIYDaly ok , thanks for that info.
👌👍
I’ve seen many instructional videos on yt but this has to be best bar none. Well done.
Thanks for the comment Martin , nice to hear your feedback as I only started my channel last year , much appreciated 👍👌
Awesome video, thank you so much! Just finished the job on my B7 (BRD engine, thankfully 95% were identical). Your tutorial was such a big help to get confidence in doing the replacement by myself and helped immensely during the replacement. Finally my B7 is back on the road and runs great. All thanks to your video ;)
👍👍 thanks!! your comments and feedback are much appreciated 😃 glad you hear your done it all yourself 👌
Another great video, I would hate to think how much you have to keep spending on timing tools. I have a few myself, but only cheapos off ebay. The VAG group are a pain for the amount of different tools you need. At least Audi are not like BMW and using torque to yield bolts, I have a good collection of those. I am of the old school, if you haven't used it for five years put it one side.
Thanks for the comment Neil! feedback is appreciated 😃. Yeah the amount of special tools you need in this game is ridiculous! we are having to get loads of new VAG timing bits to do a lot of the petrol engines now!😖
Hi. Every how many miles need to be change timing belt and water pump? I have the same car . Thanks Milton
Thanks mate , l timing belt interval is 80,000 miles or 5 years (whichever comes first)
@@diydaly Thanks friend for the info wish you all the best 👍🏻
@@miltosfiesta 👍👌
One of the best cam belt tutorials I seen in years. Many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the comment, much appreciated .. always nice to get some feedback 👍👌
А где регулировка распредвалов через VCDS ? Показали бы полностью , а так это не полный обзор замены.
Good video but I’m confused about how the cam gear location works when you have the gear bolts loose and are turning them back and fourth before locating the belt on the teeth. I would have thought the tooth location on the belt was critical? Did I miss a step in your video? 29:44
Hi mate, its maybe hard to see on the video but the timing pin holds the cam in place. when the 3 bolts are loose just the outer pulley is 'floating' so I doesn't effect the timing, you can do the job without slackening them bolts its just that its helps get a nice even tension all the way round..obs once the tension is on you can nip the 4 bolts up and lock the pulley to the camshaft again
My car done 165.000 miles timing and water pump was done at 144.000 when do i need to change again?
ill check the interval , its every 5 years or 60,000 I think, which ever comes first
Hi. I have subscribe your channel
Well done job 👏👏. I just have questions
Where you are based in the uk ? Do you do jobs like this for subscribers costumers please??
All the best
Thankyou! I’m afraid I only make the content it my spare time 👍
Hi my cams and crank moved as I didn't have locking tools, how do you reset and lock before putting new belt (I've got the locking tools now)
Hi Angelo, you will need to remove the belt and just slightly turn them back and pin them up 👍
Nice job👍👌..if you ever find getting a tool in an awkward position on to remove the D connector(electrical)if you push the connector inwards and push the clip it will remove very easily👍
Thanks 👍👌😁
5 10 minutes to bleed the Coolant😂 Great video but my car was idling for 45 minutes with cap off and heater on with pipe bleeder next to the battery and still lots of air🤔
You're brilliant at this. I genuinely think I could do this after watching that. I felt the same about your wheel bearing replacement on the same model but i got stuck at the m12 t/ square nuts at the hub and just couldn't move them and was afraid id strip them and gave up. She's still humming away reminding me that I need to try again with some heat maybe. Kudos regards the clear video and explanations. I'm hoping it's just the thermostat or trapped air causing my overheating after an egr delete but if not then I'll be watching this again 30 times 👏
Thanks! always nice to hear some positive feedback 👌😃 yeah they can be abit tight sometimes!! 😖 good chance it might be the waterpump 😬
I've the same car as yours, any advice on her , she's overheating , no hot air from air conditioning , and a burnt smell from the air vents
Possible water pump
@diydaly I was gona try the thermostat first , water pump is 2 years old
Super.
Thank you 👍
Good video man... I was lazy and didn't want to strip the front end off to replace cam sensor and did it through the top, but now I think I moved the one cam when I took belt off, didn't have pins to lock the cams.
Thanks for the comment 👍👌 yeah can look bit awkward to do without putting it into the service position.. ive done it without before but its mega tight!
Alright mate, new engine is on 75/76k miles and im changing belt etc
Do you recommend changing the studs for tensioner and small idler?
I wouldn’t bother with the idler stud but you need to have a good check of the tensioner stud , check the threads look good at that the new new runs on the nicely if if does I’d happily reuse it , just make sure it’s torqued correct , this main reason the studs fail is when they are over tightened.. If you need to replace the stud there’s also a torquing procedure
@@diydaly alright will properly check them while doing it
Stud - 15mm, nut - 24nm+45*?
Would you recommend re checking the torque couple weeks/months down the line?
@@itzjordxnhd9850 yeah that’s the torque settings 👌👌👍. U shouldn’t need to recheck it tbf mate 👌
@@diydaly hi pal, done timing belt, all seems well but when watching the tensioners while i turn the engine over its moves from its position? Normal?
@@itzjordxnhd9850 yeah that's completely normal mate, as long as it was bang on when you torqued it up alls good 👍
Love it now I know why they sold it cheap, I will pay for the timing belt and water pump I love this car
You safed my ass ! Thanks you that was great ! One of the best video's i ever seen greetz from belgium
Thanks for the comment ! Much appreciated & glad it helped you 👌👍
How so often you need to change that belt?
Autodata states every 80,000 miles/60 months (which ever comes first)
Is there any danger of putting the timing wrong or will it just not start cause i wanna try doing it myself instead of paying the mechanic 1200$ for it
Yes definelty if the timing too far out you could cause some serious damage .. if your really unsure I would definelty advise getting it done at a garage mate
Thank you very much! Great video and easy to follow :)
Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment 👌👍
Can you use the timing tool kit for a petrol Engine or not?
I’d say the tool will be different for a petrol mate
Hi when changing the belt do you know what is best torsion value to set it at on vcds thanks
Mine is a bre
I’m not 100% sure tbh mate will try find out
@@diydaly ok thank you
Great video, will u be doing one on an audi a4 b8 2.0tdi? Would be a great help to see the timing on a VAG common rail engine. Thanks
I’ve done a lot of them , there very similar but you can do em without taking the front end off , you only need to remove a few bits for access .. only problem if it’s makes it awkward to film! If I’m ever doing one with the bumper off I’ll record it 👍👍
You just saved my life I spent 3 days today it took 10minutes 😊
Great video ! Gives me confidence as a novice mechanic to give it a go ! Question - where would be the best place to find torque specifications for this job and others within the UK ? Cant for the life of me find a decent detailed workshop repair guide. Thanks !
Thanks! If you can send me your reg number & email address I will send you the full procedure in pdf format 👍
@@diydaly I think my last comment got deleted ! Would i be able to DM you ? dont think i can put info like that in youtube comments.
@@scottglenn6825 yeah it must have mate , if you go on my website you can send a message through that
Been following your channel about over a month now really good content in all your video's
Thanks for letting me know 👌 comments are always appreciated and it’s good to hear it from people 😁👍👌
you are amazing good quality of you video you best mechanics well done soon will do one of this
Thank you!
Does the syncro angle change much? I think I need to adjust mine on the 1.9 as mpg is lower than expected - sitting around +2.5/3 degrees.
Should be 0 +-5 when the engine is warm. You shouldn’t need to change the cam belt if it’s not due, mark the cam position with the centre bolt and slacken the 3 cam bolts. Then adjust accordingly. To retard timing turn centre bolt counter clockwise (ensuring not to loosen the bolt) or advance it clockwise. Then torque 3 bolts down and turn engine over by hand. Start engine and check reading. Repeat if still out of spec. I believe if the reading is positive it is too far advanced 👌
@@diydaly belt is 20k old but yes I'll give that a shot on the next dry day!
@@carlsgarage2023 👍👌
Very helpful video,very professional,cheers.
👍👍👌 thanks for the comment
The tools you are using are Snap-on
yes mostly but I have quite a varied mix of different brands
Great informative video! A lot of really valuable knowledge.
Thanks for the comment ; much appreciated 👍
Thanks for this learning so much 😃
Glad to hear that! thanks for the comment 👍

Hello
How long is this serpentine belt? Answer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
ebay.us/Eu7jDU
Hi and thanks for the very detailed video. Just wondered if you know how close is the process on a 2010 B8 Audi A4 2.0 diesel
Very similar .. you don’t need to pull the front end forward on the b8 but access if abit tight!
@@diydaly i really appreciate your video and i really appreciate you taking the time to reply. That will save me some time and ill just squeeze my skinny arms down the gap )) Thanks again
@@richm8620 👍👍 glad to help
Great vid thank you 👌🏻👍🏻
thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👌👍
I might have got the timing wrong when put back together it won't start up ?? any suggestions
Thanks for the comment, did you turn it over my hand a few times after fitting the belt to make sure everything lined up? have you got any fault codes?
cam position fault code
yes I turned it over , but I've got myself all out-of sync , nothing is matching up , is there a way to basically relign back to were the motor will start up again , HELP lol , thank you
ive basically lost all my timing , I need to start from scratch
@@chrissylfc16 ohh right that doesn’t sound very good, hopefully it wasn’t to far out and done any damage .. the fuel pump might not line up everytime , and you’ll get 2 rotations of the crankshaft to the camshaft you you may find your crank is lined up but the camshaft is 180 degrees out , if so you’ll need to do another full rotation of the crank shaft and see if it lines up , how far out are the marks ?
Nice one, reminds me of when I did my Exeo on my drive, took two days but I did it.
thanks for the comment! much appreciated :) its always rewarding when you've done the job yourself though isn't it :)
@@diydaly Definitely and cheaper!
👌👍
What was the temperature of the room ?
I’m not sure tbh
do you have to remove the coolent?
yes if changing the water pump 👍
@@diydaly thanks for the reply, audi replaced my cam belt and water pump two weeks ago but this week my light come on to top up my coolant, it was near empty.. just seems too much of a coincidence, checked there is no leak but not sure why it was near empty?
@@vincent-lr6io It might be nothing to worry about, just top it up and monitor it.. It can be quite common , after replacing the water pump they will need to bleed the cooling system, there might have just been abit of air in the system and the level has settled.. keep an eye on it and if it keeps dropping you'll have to pop it back to them 👍
@@diydaly thanks for advice
@@vincent-lr6io 👍
Is that a BKD engine?
This was a BRE engine code mate
Pretty much the same as the BKD, doing the timing belt on my golf it’s identical other than the larger pulley has a different bolt size.
@@bendude6748 yeah that’s it 👌👍
Great video !
👍👌 thanks for the comment
Did you replace the tensioner stud when you did this ?
No not the stud
@diydaly and its been alright since. Heard youbhave to change them when doing the cambelt
@@harryleslie-d9r yeah more so on the earlier engines
@@diydaly mines an 06 model. Would you recommend changing it
@@harryleslie-d9r you can test it by running a new nut up and down the thread , the issue it the stretch , if a new nut won’t spin freely down the thread then it’s stretched.. if it seems ok you can re use it just make sure you torque it correctly! No harm in replacing it either.. if your slightly unsure then replace it
great job,🙂 thank you
Thanks for the comment 👍👍
Brilliant description mate well done
Thanks mate 👍👍
amazing 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Привет, угол синхронизации и работу форсунок приходилось регулировать ?
Или как собрал так и осталось ?
Sorry I can't translate
@@diydaly Hello, did you have to adjust the timing angle and the operation of the nozzles? Or how did you put it together and stay like that?
@@anr2005 No I just put it back together as it was , exactly as the video.. nothing else was done 👍
This is a brilliant guide. Just got myself a B7 and need the cambelt doing soon. I can quite confidently do this job myself after watching this.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice one , glad it will help .. I own a b7 so should be plenty more vids on them too
@@diydaly Nice. Your vids are so clear. Also on the list of jobs for me to do is the hex key. I have a 2008 BRD with full service history but no mention of it being done so a tad worried. Guessing it must have been done at some point as the car has 213k miles on it
@@markthenewt thanks 👍 yeah It must have been done mate , I’ve never known one go past about 160/170 without , shame u haven’t got any info to know or not
@@diydaly hopefully it's been done mate but still going to get it done anyway just for piece of mind. I've been looking at the KMB hex keys. More costly than genuine part but is meant to last a lot longer so I've been reading. Thanks mate 👍
@@markthenewt yeah definitely worth doing for piece of mind mind 👍ive heard they are meant to be decent too 👌
Brilliant tutorial 👍

Very nice 👍🏻 keep it up
